  • Clinical Challenges in Hepatobiliary Surgery: Pancreatic Anastomoses in Whipples

    Clinical Challenges in Hepatobiliary Surgery: Pancreatic Anastomoses in Whipples
    Nov 14 2024
    The pancreatic anastomosis is often regarded to as the “Achilles Heel” of the Whipple operation, as technical failure and leakage is a significant source of perioperative morbidity and mortality. In this episode from the HPB team at Behind the Knife listen in as we discuss the standard techniques for the anastomosis, alternative techniques for the pancreatic anastomosis in patients with aberrant anatomy and/or physiology, key factors to consider when selecting the ideal approach/technique for the anastomosis, and mitigation strategies for leaks.

    Hosts
    Anish J. Jain MD (@anishjayjain) is a current PGY3 General Surgery Resident at Stanford University and a former T32 Research Fellow at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

    Jon M. Harrison is a 2nd year HPB Surgery Fellow at Stanford University. He previously completed his general surgery residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, and will be returning to MGH as faculty at the conclusion of his fellowship.

    Monica M. Dua (@MonicaDuaMD) is a Clinical Professor of Surgery and the Associate Program Director of the HPB Surgery Fellowship at Stanford University. She also serves as also serves as the regional HPB Surgeon at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System.

    Learning Objectives
    · Develop an understanding of the standard technical approaches to the pancreatic anastomosis during a Whipple (pancreatoduodenectomy) operation
    · Develop an understanding of the alternative technical approaches to the pancreatic anastomosis during the Whipple when the standard approaches may not be feasible
    · Develop an understanding of the key anatomic and physiologic factors in the decision making when selecting the optimal approach for the pancreatic anastomosis
    · Develop an understanding of possible mitigation strategies in the event of a pancreatic anastomotic leak.

  • USA vs. UK: ASGBI Ep. 2 - Surgical Careers

    USA vs. UK: ASGBI Ep. 2 - Surgical Careers
    Nov 11 2024
    We’re excited to bring you the second episode in our BTK/ASGBI collaborative series, where we compare and contrast various aspects of surgery in the US and the UK, debating who does it better. In today’s episode, BTK fellow Jon Williams and ASGBI hosts Kellie Bateman and Jared Wohlgemut welcome the Christian Macutkiewicz from the UK and Scott Steele to discuss surgeon careers--from getting your first faculty job to broadening your impact to compensation structures.

    Dr. Macutkiewicz is the President-Elect of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland. He is a General and HPB Surgeon in Manchester, England. He completed a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at the University of Birmingham, before studying medicine at the University of Manchester, and received an MD doctorate at the University of Manchester for research into sepsis. He underwent surgical training in North West Deanery, before completing an HPB and Liver Transplant Fellowship in Leeds. He has been a consultant surgeon in Nottingham, Leeds and most recently in Manchester since 2018. He also works privately at Spire Manchester Hospital.

    Dr. Steele needs no introduction as a founder of BTK, but otherwise he is president of the Cleveland Clinic main campus and chair of the department of colorectal surgery. After graduating from West Point, Dr. Steele received his medical degree from University of Wisconsin. He then underwent general surgery residency training at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, WA followed by colorectal surgery fellowship training at University of Minnesota Medical Center. Dr. Steele then served in the military as an active duty surgeon until 2015, including several deployments and further faculty time at Madigan where he additionally served as Associate Program Director for general surgery. He then served as Division Chief of colorectal surgery at University Hospitals in Cleveland and associate director of surgical services at the Digestive Health Institute, prior to being named Chair of the department of colorectal surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in 2016, a position that he continues to hold today.

    So, which country would you rather work in to carry out your illustrious surgical career? Give this episode a listen and decide for yourself!

  • Clinical Challenges in Trauma Surgery: Traumatic Esophageal Injury

    Clinical Challenges in Trauma Surgery: Traumatic Esophageal Injury
    Nov 7 2024
    The dreaded esophageal injury. Do you still have nightmares about mock oral board scenarios torturing you with the ins and outs of how to manage traumatic esophageal injury? Think you remember all the nuances? Whether you do or you don’t, this episode should serve as a good refresher for all levels while offering some pearls for management of this tricky scenario.

    Hosts:
    - Michael Cobler-Lichter, MD, PGY4/R2:
    University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center
    @mdcobler (X/twitter)

    - Dylan Tanzer, MD, 2nd-year Trauma/Surgical Critical Care Fellow
    University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center

    - Eugenia Kwon, MD, Trauma/Surgical Critical Care Attending:
    Loma Linda University
    Recent graduate of University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center Trauma/CC Fellowship

    - Jonathan Meizoso, MD, MSPH Assistant Professor of Surgery, 5 years in practice
    University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center

    Learning Objectives:
    - Describe the diagnostic workup of a suspected traumatic esophageal injury
    - Identify when someone with suspected esophageal injury needs immediate surgical management
    - Describe appropriate surgical techniques for repair of both cervical and thoracic esophageal injuries

    Quick Hits:
    1. Don’t forget the primary survey. Unstable patients should be in the OR, as should patients with hard signs of vascular or aerodigestive injury
    2. If there is concern for esophageal injury but no immediate indication for the OR, this should be further investigated with CTA of the affected area. Clinical exam has poor sensitivity.
    3. The esophagus should be primarily repaired if the defect is able to come together without tension after debridement. Don’t forget a well-vascularized buttress
    4. If you cannot perform a primary repair, your procedure of choice should be lateral esophagostomy with feeding jejunostomy and gastrostomy for decompression. Repair over T-tube can be considered for injuries with small amounts of tissue loss
